Looks the part and great pictures. Did you have any problems mounting the rear cage, I ask as I had real problems finding the correct location.

Yes, the rear cage was a pain to get mounted correctly... well, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't easy either. If i remember correctly, you need to drill the pin holes out before trying to mount it. Drilling is one thing i disliked about the kit since you constantly had to drill to get something fitted on. And the turret mounting isnt great. I simply glued the turret on it was so bad.

Probably wasn't left around much lol, i must agree.

At first i was going to have the hatches open and have the crew relaxing around, hence the luger. Afterwards i figured id simply ad an artistic touch

Thanks alot for the kind words guys.

The mud is simply pigments from the art store, mixed with some mmp pigments, some sand, some birch tree seeds,and dilluted elmers glue. for the application of the track i simply increaded the liquidity of the mix for a better application.
